...after school care program at an elementary school, and I have also worked with college students on essays. I am passionate about English, Literature, and Composition. I am excited to share my interests with others. I love writing, and I truly believe that essay writing and reading comprehension are skills that can be learned like anything else. Outside of tutoring, I am a screenwriter and actor, and I also love playing guitar and painting.

...standardized testing, but my teaching goals are consistent throughout: the key to peak performance in any field, particularly in the high pressure scenarios of public speaking and standardized testing, is confidence in one's own abilities. I think the competitive intensity of the classroom can hamper many students' confidence, but tutoring can remedy this by creating a safe and individualized environment for learning. Beyond tutoring, I am passionate about filmmaking, writing, photography, and international travel (my...

...2nd Grade teacher, but was moved to 3rd grade, a testing grade, for the 2011-2012 school year because I showed the promise of a strong teacher. I proved this was well deserved through my strong student learning gains.
Then, I moved to Los Angeles, California this summer! Currently, I am teaching 3rd grade again at an elementary school in West Hollywood. I am very excited about my recent move, my new job, and new tutoring...

...for the Trinity Papers, graduated with Honors in General Scholarship, and am a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society. I wrote my senior thesis in Spanish and received honors for that as well. I took a leap of faith during my junior year and signed up to being one of two Trinity College students to study abroad in Santiago, Chile. I studied at the Chilean university, Pontificía Universidad Católica de Chile. This whole experience...

...crop year; however, I decided to defer my acceptance until next year, so that I may begin my master program first. I am now a Master of Public Administration student at USC hoping to graduate by 2015. I have been both a private tutor and volunteer tutor through various non-profit programs, tutoring students from elementary school through college. My experience as a tutor has shown me that every child can reach success in academia if...

...I love teaching. Time goes quickly when I teach because I really enjoy it and rarely do I ever regard teaching as "work." I enjoy helping students and find it rewarding when a student learns a new concept. From my experience, I know it is important for an instructor to be able to put himself in the student's shoes, know the academic history of the student, the concepts they may have recently learned, their goals...

Teachers made a huge difference in my life when I was growing up. Now, as an adult, I feel lucky to be able to give back as a tutor. I love getting to know my students, learning how they tick. Understanding how my students learn allows me to tailor my approach to each student to fit his or her individual needs. I like to incorporate the student's interest as well as humor, when I can!

...in addition to teaching the mundane aspects of language, that I am continually looking for strategies that make learning easier/fun for the learner. I believe theres no better forum for this type of learning than the opportunity to teach one-on-one as the relationship that can be built around the tutees own personal likes and dislikes can further his/her connection to learning as the tutor builds lessons geared toward improved language acquisition. Having visited twenty countries...
